Tax Free Guarantee on Pressure Washers

We are required by law to collect sales tax if we make a sale in the same state where we have facilities.

Because we only have one facility in one state, it is unlikely that we will need to collect sales tax on the majority of orders.

If you happen to live in Illinois, you will be charged the required sales tax for your order.

If you bought a power washer online from one of the major home improvement stores, you'd be guaranteed to pay sales tax because they have facilities in every state.

Tax Requirements for States Where Sales Tax Isn't Collected

State

Requirement

Colorado

Colorado HB 1193, enacted in February 2010, requires online retailers to provide a detailed purchase report to customers with more than $500 of annual Colorado purchases by January 31 and to provide a summary purchase report with the total amount of each customer's annual Colorado purchases to the Colorado Department of Revenue by March 31. This law is currently the subject of a legal challenge brought by the Direct Marketing Association and others. In the meantime, the U.S. District Court has suspended enactment of the law while the legal challenge proceeds.

Kentucky

The Commonwealth of Kentucky requires purchasers to report all purchases of tangible personal property or digital property that are not taxed by the retailer and pay use tax on those purchases unless exempt under Kentucky law. The taxes may be reported and paid on the Kentucky individual income tax return or by filing a consumer use tax return with the Department of Kentucky. See important Kentucky sales and use tax information regarding tax you may owe directly to the Commonwealth of Kentucky here.

Oklahoma

Tax may be reported and paid on the Oklahoma individual income tax return [Form 511] or by filing a consumer use tax return [Form 21-1].
